Q: which bmx bikes are good? right now i'm looking at a felt bike compared to a we the people..

A: Depends on what you're going to use it for.
Anything with a full chromalloy frame and half inch axles is a solid choice. Gonna cost you at least $400.

Nice chain.
I thought the chain was iodized and completely blue. However, it is just a type of paint on the outside. Otherwise, it's a reliable chain like you would expect.
Not worth it
Its light but it has broken twice on me in one week. Im not putting that thing back on my bike, not worth getting stuck somewhere to save a buck.
colorful yes, useful, not really.
i made my own fixie, i used the chain but it broke on me a couple of times could be me but breaking twice on a ride really is annoying. the fact it comes with quick release option is nice though
Bad idea to bargain shop....
I regret bargain shopping for a bike chain. Within 1 week, the master link broke off. The links just feel cheap and using it w/o a master link causes the connecting links to lock up sometimes. Considering it is KMC, which is normally reputable, I am disappointed and a little scared to ride with it.

Point of story: don't bargain shop for a chain! pay the extra money for an SRAM.
Awesome Bike Chain
According to my 15 year-old son, this bike chain is awesome. It looks great, was easy to install, and rides really well. He also appreciated how quickly we received it!

Great chain with good looks.
Got the chrome chain. Looks more silver. Not like it blings bright chrome but it does stand out a bit.
Youll Spend more $
This says BMX chain so assumed that it would be he perfect size for the adult sized bmx bike which i believe is 20". Because of my stupid assumption I was late for school! <_<

The chain is about 10 chains longer than it is supposed to be, so YOU WILL NEED 'CHAIN TOOL'.

I bought one from a small bike shop for $6 and this tool allows you to push out the pins that joins the chain so you can shorten it to the appropriate size. Its kind of a hassle to put the chain on if you make it the exact length as opposed to lets say 1 chain part larger but thats with all bmx chains.

chain is great quality, after all its a Diamondback
=)

Feels great, but...
...the grips came to me discolored. The flange part was pure white which I was expecting the whole thing to be, but the rest of the grip fades into this slightly light tan color. Tried scrubbing off the color thinking it was some dirt/dust from storage, but the rubber looks to be intentionally made that color. I'm not familiar with white bike grips, but maybe they're supposed to come like this? Anyway, I own a pair of black flangless DB Team grips, which I love and feel great, so I was prompted to get a pair of white ones. They feel great too, but the discoloration was unexpected. I wish the color would have shown better on the pictures here and around the internet. Would have gotten 5/5 stars, but I had to drop it down one due too the unexpected discoloration.

Valentines Day : Its History and Celebrations

"Valentines". Popular Valentine symbols of modern times include the heart-shaped outline and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, mass produced greeting cards have largely replaced handwritten notes. It is believed that nearly one billion Valentines Day cards are sent each year worldwide, making it only the second largest card-sending holiday next to Christmas. Women are believed to purchase approximately 85 percent of all "valentines". It is, however, widely believed that Valentine's Day has perhaps originated from the ancient Roman feast of Lupercalia. A festival was held on February 15 in honor of one of their gods Lupercus, who was called upon by the Romans to ward off the threats of those fierce wolves that roamed the adjacent forests. On the eve of the festival of Lupercalia, a love lottery was organized in which the names of Roman girls were written on slips of paper and placed into jars. Each young man then drew a slip and the girl whose name he picked up was to be his sweetheart for the year. The holiday subsequently became Valentine's Day after a priest named Valentine. At that time when Christianity was still a new religion, Valentine was a priest in Rome. The then Emperor Claudius II, had issued an order forbidding the Roman soldiers to marry or become engaged. The emperor believed that once they got married, his soldiers would want to stay home rather than fight his wars. Valentine defied the Emperor's decree and secretly married the young couples. He was finally arrested, imprisoned, and beheaded on February 14, the eve of Lupercalia. Valentine was posthumously named a saint. As Christianity grew stronger in Rome, the priests moved the Lupercalia or spring holiday from February 15 to February 14, i.e., Valentine's Day. Since then the holiday began honoring Saint Valentine instead of Lupercus. According to another story, Valentine was one of the early Christians who was seized and dragged before the Prefect of Rome and jailed for helping...
